I’M GOING THROUGH a Stephen King phase at the moment.
I’ve read Misery, The Shining and Carrie in the last fortnight. Even though I’ve seen the movies for the first two, they really come alive in the text. So much so that its ignited my love for reading again.
Nothing like being a fly on the wall in the home of Annie Wilkes, as she nurses her favourite cock-a-doody author back to health. Absolute masterclass.

Reviews

I haven’t made a call out for book reviews in a while.
For those who have read and enjoyed one of my books, but haven’t yet left a review on the Amazon US site (which anyone can do), now would be a great time to do so.
My books are:
Pathfinders
Sigil
Raising Lazarus
The ROT Collection


And Finally…

I’m still in Medellin, Colombia. Spent the afternoon reading in a cafe.
Currently half way through a book by a new author, Graham Johns, called Baabaric. Love helping to promote new voices on the scene especially when they write as well as Graham.
I highly recommend checking out his book which is a lot of fun.

  1. You haven’t read King until you’ve read his masterpiece, The Stand or his life’s work, The Dark Tower series, all seven volumes. Those two are ones I’ve undertaken and accomplished over the last thirty or so years.

      1. We started the Dark Tower on CD’s one 100 degree summer, but when we got to book IV, the reader had died, and King refused to let anyone complete the read-aloud on the series. Over the next few years, he finished Book IV, V, VI and VII, and gradually, between his many other books, we finished the series. Last year we saw The Dark Tower at the movies and love Idris Elba’s portrayal of Roland, the protagonist. I had not seen him in films before.

        1. He’s a great actor. Heard not so good things about the movie. Can’t imagine a blockbuster series like that would translate well over 90 mins on screen. But that’s not King’s fault! 🙂

    1. Hi Aidan. I just wanted to say that I’ve just read the review you’ve posted on “Baabaric” on Amazon.co.uk and wanted to say thank you very much for that! Really appreciate it. 😄

      1. No problem mate. I know the work that it takes to get something into a polished, finished format and you did a great job. Getting reviews is a tough gig so happy to provide an honest one.
